331. Sing of a God in Majestic Divinity
1 Sing of a God in majestic divinity,
seeding the heavens with numberless stars,
forming our dust and our dreams of infinity,
God of our livess and the judge of our wars.
2 Sing of a child who was cradled so tenderly,
sing of a boyhood by Galilee's lake;
sing of a cross and a Savior who wondrously
suffered and died for humanity's sake.
3 Sing of a Spirit who daily addressing us,
lives in our sciences, nature and arts;
moving through all of creation and blessing us,
guiding our minds and engaging our hearts.
4 Sing of this God who in glory and mystery
chooses to lie in humanity's womb,
enters the prison and pain of our history,
rises triumphant and opens the tomb.
